Step 9: Play with your poop!!!

Magically Delicious! Unicorns may manage their elusiveness but they left behind some fanciful evidence of their existence and I was able to recreate their leavings.

This unicorn poop, in reality, has a funny story. I told my mom that I was making some "Unicorn Sneezes" and she said "when are you going to make your unicorn sh*t?" And then it hit me...Great idea, Mom! It will take a dirty spin and become unicorn poop, instead! She doesn't want the credit for encouraging me, but I still thank her. Haha. BTW: These things are sparkly to the max. Even more-so than ANY art project. I wish that the video would have captured the magic. *cry*

**** Update 4/12/12 **** I'm very excited about all of the responses that I've been getting, and I am so excited to see what you guys have done with this idea. Thanks for adoring this cute recipe and sharing the magic with your families and friends. :) Once I get a moment, I will collect all the images on the net and make a "step" with the photos that I find! ALSO - I baked my unicorn poop cookies for a cake show in San Diego and I got second place, with a trophy and certificate. Pretty awesome!!

Disco dust, as verified to me by 3 large US suppliers, is PLASTIC CRAFT GLITTER. It is may be non-toxic, but it most certainly is not edible. It is for use only on decos that will be removed before eating, which is clearly not the case when applied to cookies. My comment about "Diva Dust" is in response to another post [by shoelessjess] who was offering that as an alternative to disco dust--see that comment below. :p

Ok, so the "adult stores" carry something called Diva Dust (you can also get it on ebay) that IS edible and IS glittery. It's also much cheaper (anywhere between $8 and $11 for 0.5 oz.) Rainbow Dust also has a line of edible glitters.I'd recommend that if you're afraid of using the Disco Dust. A little less shimmer, but also a little less plastic.

Farther down, someone commented that it is actually plastic craft glitter, so it shouldn't be eaten even though it is 'non-toxic'. (I was wondering the same thing after seeing the picture of the jar above)

I made these for my younger cousin's birthday, she and her entire family got a huge kick out of it. (And the jokes about what a crappy gift I got her went on for days...) But as a retaliatory gift she made me some Dragon Poop. It is a chocolate cookie, with butterscotch chips, various sprinkles and homemade sugar gems (Her sister is a cake decorator)
